Listener Opinions

Ariel | 2/18/2014

" I liked this one (: just like everything I've read by this author . It wasn't my favorite though due to being kind of slow up until the end . I lovedd Jake (Michelle's dad) and allll the characters though , just him especially , he added a lott to the story and without him it wouldn't have been as good . Worth reading though if you're intrested in this series ! "

" Four long-time friends have been cheating & stealing, socking away millions in a Cayman Island fund for their future. Will the young backwoods Louisiana doctor, cousin of the wife of one of these guys, figure out what they did, and ruin everything? "

Rawan | 2/13/2014

" I just love the Buchanan series and it was well written "

Tasha | 2/13/2014

" This was my first Julie Garwood, I liked the book, characters, plot and have about five or six more books of hers that I will be reading. I look forward to comparing her to the other authors I've read for this genre. "

Patti McDermott | 2/10/2014

" I have admit to being disappointed. I adore period romances, like Garwood's earlier novels. Perhaps it is my general dislike of contemporary romances. I stopped reading this author with this novel. "

Ellany Kincross | 1/20/2014

" I really liked this book! This was the third or fourth book I've read by Julie Garwood. She's a good writer. She really pulls you in. I would have loved to have learned more about the mysterious John-Paul. "

Tammy | 1/6/2014

" This book was really good. "

Lori Hanken | 12/30/2013

" I picked this book up at a garage sale for a dollar. Not a big fan. It was sappy and predictable. It was an easy and quick read with little substance. "

Lindsay | 12/24/2013

" I liked it, not as good as Grisham but worth a read! "

Joene | 12/7/2013

" The second in the modern suspense stories, this one is set in Louisiana, and a Buchanan must protect the woman who saved his life. Great characters and dialogue. SUPER STORY!!!! "

Cindy | 10/5/2013

" Great book, the lovers are mature, know what they want and no pretense. Excelent, I highly recomend. "

" Like all of Julie Garwood's books I LOVED IT! I got completly wrapped up in the characters, too bad the book had to end! "

R*beth*h Hart | 11/16/2012

" This has been one of my favorites of the Buchanans so far. The ending was a little abrupt for my taste but still the story had me in suspense and laughing my way through. "

Jill | 10/5/2012

" Okay a bit of a slow start. I really enjoyed to banter between Theo, Mike, and Noah... "

Glenda | 5/14/2012

" As good as the 1st one. I love the characters, the action and the suspense. A must read. "

Gjbates | 4/18/2012

" I enjoyed the humorous parts of this book along with the romance and mystery. Everyone in town calling the hero coach "

Christine | 2/24/2012

" This one was good, but I preferred Heartbreaker. The romance took a larger role in this book, and it seemed a little forced. Still a good read, but I was hoping it would be more like the first one in the series. "

Amy Allaband | 1/27/2012

" This book is a quick read. I liked it, but it isn't brain food. I would recommend it for a plane or beach trip though. The characters are likable and interesting and the story has a couple of twists. It will keep you interested. "

Melody | 8/14/2011

" I really liked the book setting and even though, unlike his brothers, Theo doesn't know how to use a gun, he has his charm too. "

Kathleen | 2/26/2011

" I liked this as a change from Fowler's quilting mystery series.
"

Butterfly181964 | 11/23/2010

" Loved it. Hope she continues the series.
"

Carole | 10/5/2010

" I enjoy Fowler's books because of their connection with quilting. This book was a departure--a stand-alone book about new characters, although she did work her regular characters into the story in minor parts. A feel-good, easy read.
"

Bev | 7/29/2010

" Pleasant but I wanted something deeper and not so easily resolved.
"

Sara | 6/10/2010

" This is to be the first of a new series. I've read several of her Benni Harper mysteries and thought this was another one. Interesting, though oddly named characters.
"

Waggonerdebbie | 6/1/2010

" This is a new series Earlene Fowler has started with new characters, and some of the old ones in the background. I like her books, they are good clean reading.
"

Linda | 5/16/2010

" Yet another great book from Earlene Fowler. About love and caring, family and friends. Always a strong, practical message about God and his mercy without being "preachy". I really enjoy her books.
"

Amy | 3/21/2010

" A lovely heart-wrenching tale of a grandmother and her granddaughter. It is set in the Benni Harper world in 2008, but does not have Benni as a main character.
"

Sharon | 1/1/2010

" I always enjoy Earlene Fowler books. I've read all the Benni Harper books. So far, this is a good book.
"

Dana | 11/9/2009

" I enjoyed this book. It reminds me of Elziabeth Berg because it was about relationships. This was about women and their different kinds of relationships. I hope there are more books about Love Mercy.
